ABS C0205/32 Troubleshooting

Giving a dealership $180 for diagnosis is like paying someone to rob you... They'll think up all kinds of massively overpriced "problems" that they claim need to be fixed when in truth a more honest mechanic would say don't worry about it. Glad you're working on the repairs without paying anyone too much money. There's plenty of information on here so you'll be able to continue to do that... As for the leak, just clean everything up under there and monitor it. A minor leak is not worth spending alot of money on... But when it goes from minor to major, you're gonna wanna get it fixed.

 

But apparently everything must be fine because you don't talk about your brakes going to the floor the car pulling extreme left or right and just general bad breaking so you have the brake lights on but breaking seems to be normal regenerative braking is happening? It shows on the MFD. I would think your skid control and traction control lights might be on without it being able to read the sensors well or what have you and then if that's happening above 50 or 53 at the VSC in the traction control lights are on the car will not want to go much above that it'll start cutting in and out like you're on ice or something

 

This just sounds like your typical biased reply without understanding what the OP was told. It is also amazing, sight unseen, how you can pontificate that those repairs are unnecessary.

Maybe you should just post objective data pertinent to the post topic and check in your personal bias at the door.

Unlike you, a professional repair technician carries liability for their work. In addition, Toyota needs to ensure its reputation for making reliable cars is maintained. The only way to do this is to fix problems as they arise and use genuine parts.

The funniest thing though is people putting all manner of junk parts on their cars and then blaming the manufacturer because they have an unreliable car.

 

Their dealerships have a well established reputation for ripping off owners of older cars with overpriced repairs and overpriced parts. That's well documented on here.

Your reply is elitist and snobby and all us poor folk that drive 15 year old cars because that's all we can afford don't live in your rich people world where you buy a car at a dealership and then buy another one in 5 years or less. if we lived in that world, going to a dealership would make sense.

I'm here to help people solve problems in the most affordable way possible, not sure what you're doing, but you've offered nothing of substance to help OP resolve their concerns with their car.

 

Normal sensor resistance is 1.4-1.8 kohm. You may need to check resistance of the entire circuit at the ABS ecu connector. Test AC voltage output by comparing the LF with the RF circuit.

Check the toothed tone ring for any cracks- that will make a weird signal that'll confuse the ecu. A semi-common problem is corrosion build up on the sensor mounting that increases the air gap from the sensor to the tone ring.

Wrong. Making assumptions based on facts not in evidence? Or do you have a crystal ball? You might need to take your crystal ball in for a service, but don't take it to the dealer.

Wrong (again), I've never bought a new car in my life let alone every five years.

It's funny because most of the time you just seem to want to whine about dealerships. The post to which I replied originally did not contain much by the way of help for the OP, just a big winge about dealerships and a lot of crystal ball gazing.

If you could keep your posts more objective it would be beneficial is all I'm saying.

 

You're welcome. And thanks for posting an update.

I was told that ABS light on could cause brakes to lock if you make an emergency stop at high speed, which would cause skidding. Anybody able to confirm this?
